ABSTRACT:
A simple camera for use in a telescope having a hollow support cylinder that is capable of being slipped into the focus mount tube of the instrument for mounting and positioning the camera in reference to the image plane of the telescope. The cylinder depends from the base of the camera and encloses an aperture formed in the base so that the telescope image is allowed to pass directly into the camera. The main housing of the camera is pivotably supported on the base and contains a plurality of film-holding compartments that can be selectively moved over the aperture to expose the film contained therein whereby a number of exposures can be made without having to reload the camera. A viewing window is further provided in the housing that is also capable of being positioned over the aperture to permit visual observation of the image without having to remove the camera from the instrument.
